Sleep On Latex Pure Green Review

By: Kelly Burgess on July 24, 2017

Bottom Line

Sleep On Latex Pure Green mattresses are assembled in the USA using
natural dunlop latex foam. The cover is an organic cotton/wool blend. While
user reviews are scarce for this fairly new product, experts give the mattress
high marks. It's only available online.

Breaking it down

Comfort

Good
ratings for support across a range of weights/heights. ConsumerReports.org
tests the Sleep On Latex Pure Green Firm (9-inch thick, queen-sized) mattress
and makes it their top pick in the foam mattress category. It earns ratings of
Excellent for support for petite, average and large/tall back sleepers; Very
Good ratings for petite, average and large/tall side sleepers, as well as for
stabilization, which is a measure of motion transfer, an important aspect of
undisturbed sleep. The Sleep On Latex mattresses earn an overall satisfaction
rating of 80 percent at SleepLiketheDead.com, based on its analysis of user
feedback. However, this is based upon far fewer reviews (just 30) than for most
other types of mattresses -- although it's a typical sample size for latex
mattresses. At Sleepopolis.com, where Derek Hales tests the Sleep On Latex
9-inch mattress with a medium firmness, he found that he "sunk" too
much into the mattress, hitting the support wall and creating uncomfortable
pressure points when sleeping on his side; sleeping on his back or stomach was
much more comfortable. If you're a side sleeper, he would recommend a softer
version of the mattress, he says, because it has a thicker top layer. He also
noted that the mattress he tested was very breathable, so he didn't heat up
during sleep.

The only significant number of user reviews we spotted were at Sleep On
Latex's website and are highly positive and are not managed by a third party.
However, a close look at the reviews shows that even negative reviews are left
intact, so we learn toward their legitimacy. Most say the mattress is extremely
comfortable; although there are those who felt the one they chose was either
too hard or too soft. However, the mattresses come with a 100-day return policy
and the company is very responsive to customer dissatisfaction, based upon the
owner reviews we evaluated.

Value

Cost at
the lower end for quality latex mattresses. The latex mattresses from
Sleep On Latex do not fall into the "low-priced mattresses" category
at SleepLiketheDead.com, as do some other latex mattresses (such as those from
Ikea). However, for a higher-end mattress made from natural Dunlop latex and an
organic wool/cotton blend for the top layer, the prices for the Sleep On Latex
mattresses are at the lower end of the spectrum. Hales calls these mattresses, "surprisingly
budget-friendly." Twins start at $650 for the soft, 7-inch mattress, and
top out at $1,700 for the 9-inch, firm California king. Shipping is free.

Durability

Not much
feedback on real-world use. ConsumerReports.org tests durability by
simulating eight years of use; and awards the firm, queen-sized, 9-inch think
Sleep On Latex Pure Green an Excellent in that category. SleepLiketheDead.com
doesn't estimate the average lifetime of specific latex mattresses, however,
they do say, "All-latex mattresses tend to perform above average in regard
to lifespan." Since Sleep On Latex has only been around since 2013, there
is no way to evaluate long-term durability in real-world use at this time.
However, the Sleep On Latex mattresses are covered by a 10-year warranty, and,
as we noted, the company is responsive to customer complaints. The cover is
removable and washable.

Our Sources

Nearly 1,275 consumer experiences are factored into the review of all latex mattresses, including those manufactured by Sleep On Latex. Their mattresses earn an owner satisfaction rating of 80 percent after about 30 reviews, typical for all other latex mattresses, but higher, in general than other types of mattresses.

The Sleep On Latex Pure Green mattress topper is number one on this list of four top latex mattress toppers, with an owner satisfaction rating of 90 percent based on the input of more than 590 owners. There is no in-depth review, however.

In tests of more than 40 foam mattresses (all types of foam are included in the category), the Sleep On Latex Firm, nine-inch, queen-sized is the number one choice. Editors consider support for side and back sleepers, firmness claims, stabilization and durability.

Derek Hales makes the Sleep On Latex Pure Green mattress topper his number two pick here, with an overall rating of A. In his testing of the 2-inch version, he finds that it adds softness to any mattress, without the "hug" of memory foam. Although he says he sunk almost immediately through the foam, he also says that contributed to an allover feeling of support, with good response times when he moved.

Mattress reviewer Derek Hales tests the medium-firm, nine-inch Sleep On Latex mattress. Overall, he gives it a 4.5 out of 5, saying it, "offers a surprising value for a latex mattress." He notes that it's great for motion transfer, but not as bouncy for intimacy as he'd like.

The various sizes of the Sleep On Latex Pure Green mattress topper earn an overall rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 in more than 400 reviews. Owners say it's very comfortable and has made their bed much more comfortable. Some say it has helped to relieve back or joint pain. A few say it's too firm.

Normally we do not take into account reviews posted on the manufacturers website, especially if they're highly positive and not regulated by a third-party review manager. However, in this case, it's clear that negative reviews are allowed to stand; the owner of the company also proactively reaches out to the unhappy customers offering to make things right. Across the entire mattress line, Pure Green mattresses earn about 4.4 stars out of 5 in nearly 550 reviews.
